ner and Goes to Europe.

as assistant coroner for this District, has rc.
signed, ana DR.. Lachan Tyler been appointed

position with much reluctance, and only did
so on account of great pressure OF business.
He has served the District faithfully, and when
II is known that no salary attaches to the po-

ciated. During his long career he has been
able TO establish with success the theory of DR..

"lockjaw OF infants" This esteemed physician
ana surgeon mas rendered valuable services to
tne Distrlct IN making autopsles In cases
where great doubts wero entertained as TO the

CHICAGO PORK NOT WANTED.
The Butchers Association oppose Sales
in Small Quantities,

The Pork Butchers Association met last
night at Cosmopolitan Hall, and listened TO
report from special committee appointed to
confer VITA the Chicago men here In reference
to the latter stopping the retail sales Of their
pork products. The committee stated that the
Chicago men consented to stop retailing ick
goods under certain number OF pounds. The
committee thought that this would not be
satisfactory, as they believed that the assocn.
tion meant that the Chicago men should
refrain from opening their boxes and
cans and selling the goods In small guam
titles. The report was discussed at con
siderable length by the association,
who instructed the committee to again
confer with the Chicago men and state that
the plan offered by them did not eJt with
the approval of the association. talk with

'.Ihe Chicago men," said he, "can, If they
like, sell at retail their sausage meats at ccutc
per pound less than we can. Our sales and
profits are derived exclusively from the retail
business, and 1t would be a matter of only a
few weeks before all of us would go under"

What the Bible Record Shows David
Fisher to BE.

Fisher to BE.
The counsel In the case of Jacob P. Angney,
who arc striving to secure new trial for their
client, have received an important piece of
evidence in regard to the age of the David
pute. An affidavit has been received from
Miss Frances L. Tongue, of Warrenton, Va, in
whose family Fisher was owned, which states
that the family Bible has the record of David
1820." She further states that he subsequently,
bought his freedom. This testimony places the
age of Fisher, at the present time, at 81
years. II remains to be seen In what manner
the government will meet this evidence, and
in all probability Mr.. Fisher will be called
upon TO further explain how he came to be so
greatly mistaken In stating his age when ex-
amined for Jury service.
